Applying for Licenses
Dog and cat licenses are renewable annually. Renewal applications are mailed in December and are due in January. New pets six months of age or older must be licensed at this time or when this age is reached during the year. Application instructions are on the reverse side of the renewal form.

Documentation
If rabies vaccination information or spay/neutering status has changed during the year, please include the veterinarian certification so that pet records may be updated. All required documentation and the appropriate fee must be submitted with the renewal form or everything will be returned to you. A rabies vaccination must have an expiration date valid through October 31st of the licensing year in order to purchase an animal license.

Late Fees
On March 1st, a $10.00 late fee will be charged for dog license renewals, and a $5.00 late fee will be charged for cat license renewals. There are no late fees charged for newly acquired dog and cat licenses received on or after March 1st.
